Perhaps you never went to a public school or it's been so long that you're out of the loop, but switching everything over to Mac is out of the question. Yeah they could start replacing EOLed machines with Macs over time, but getting rid of everything at once and bringing in Macs isn't going to happen unless Apple starts giving them away. I understand your love for OS X, hell I'm typing this on my new iBook, but be realistic.
The easiest way for schools to save a lot of money in a short amount of time is by switching to OOorg or go all the way and use what you referred to as a "rat-hole of uselessness." I highly suggest you burn a live PPC Kubuntu disc and re-evaluate that statement.
